Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 414

Chapter Thirty Two 

A day passed, and I hadn’t cracked–that’s what I made him believe. The few hours of sleep I managed to get were the only escape from the pain, and even then, I dreamt about him. 

Now I couldn’t help but wonder how people were so in love with the idea of finding their mates if this was what they had to bear. But I guess many of them won’t see this as torture; they would give in easily. 

I had an idea, quite a crazy one. 

I had never touched myself before, but perhaps… I could try 

I slowly lowered my fingers, watching as my hands slipped beneath the waistband of my panties. I rubbed my finger around my clit. 

I groaned, frustrated; it wasn’t working either. 

The knock on the door drew my attention. Aric. I just knew it had to be him. 

I didn’t make a move to go to the door but he didn’t go away either, he knocked once more. 

I managed to rise to my feet, stagger to the door and pull it open. 

“Kaida, are you alright?” he asked, alarmed. 

“I do remember telling you to send a maid, if there is any information you want to pass to me.” 

“I just wanted to check on you.” 

“Just to make sure the Alpha King hadn’t killed me and was hiding my body in this room?” I inquired, a small smile playing on my lips. I was glad I could be doing something other than thinking of my mate ‘naked‘. 

“You are in ‘heat‘.” Aric says. “I shouldn’t be here.” 

I noticed his unease. He was unmated; I shouldn’t be around him now either. 

“You should go.” 

“You’re in pain… Does the Alpha King know about that?” he asked, his voice rising in irritation. 

I glanced around the hall to make sure there was no one close by. “Keep your voice down, would you?” 

“Does he know?” he asked again. 

“Yes.” 

“And still he lets you suffer, the bastard,” Aric sneered, and a part of me hated that he disrespected my mate–of course, it was my wolf. 

“It’s not him – I didn’t want to…‘ 

“You need him, you could die.” 

“That’s exaggerating the whole thing. The pain doesn’t kill ” 

“I’ve come across a few cases, Kaida. I know you don’t like agreeing to his will, but he alone can help you and after this it will be over.” 

“You should leave.” 

He opened his mouth to say something, but I closed to the door right in his face

I didn’t need anyone’s help; a few more days and it will be all over. 

Just a few more days.
